barcode word for volume name

When you use barcode labels, NW uses the label code as volume name. If the bar code with label 000023L4 is used on a media in i500, the volume when labeled will get 000023L4 as label.

I would suggest to be careful. Your barcodes 000023 & 000023L2 are similar. I ad an issue where both libraries were with same set of barcodes and we had a volume in one library with a barcode and a volume in second library with same barcode. NW would allways get confused and pick none of them.

I had this problem a long time ago, but can't remember right now where the solution was. What I can say is that 000023L2 is the FULL barcode, but the first libray is returning only the first 6 characters. Probably I had to set something in the library itself, in the first one to get all chars, or in the second one, to not get the last two characters. Take a look at the library panel to see if there's any options for the barcode reader, I bet you'll find something there.

Dear All,

I found the i500 user guide:

Media Barcode Format ¿ defaults to Standard. The available options are as follows:
¿ Standard Six ¿ Six character barcode number with or without a one or two-character media ID,
for example, "XXXXXXL4" or "XXXXXX". Only the six character barcode is reported to the host.
¿ Plus Six ¿ Six character barcode number followed by a media ID, for example, "XXXXXXL3".
Six character barcode and media ID are reported to the host.

I think this is the i500 configuration and I will try next Monday.

Best Regards,

If you are going to make both the library barcodes same, then you can have problem. Try and use a different sequence of barcodes for each library.
